On Wednesday I was back at Animal and I had my usual middle of the week tasks of entering the Cat Summery information into the WSSI's.

On Thursday I got to take part in a buying and merchandising meeting (add info from placement report)
In the meeting I suggested was in the Teen Marketing for the new Flux range they are creating that an idea would be to put small but catchy stickers in store windows to say something along the lines of 'New Flux Range'. Nikki then explained to me that unfortunately any ideas they have including the one I suggested are not possible as Ronald the owner of the umbrella of companies Animal falls into has the final say on a decision, however he does not work with any of the areas in Animal or as a team. He makes his decisions on what he thinks best rather than drawing upon the knowledge of his staff.
After the meeting along with Kirsten I drew up the meeting notes and sent out the notes to the retail team with their initials next to each item for those that will be completing the task. When I working in project management at Liverpool Victoria I had to write up meeting notes like this so this was something I had done previously.

On Friday I got to visit the production team and assist them for the day. I was assigned the task to log all the style codes for the designs for AW12 collection on a system call Quest. Once the codes have been entered the images and codes are sent to be made into a line book so all departments have a book of reference of all they styles and when completing a buy they have got a clear visual of the collection.
